Classic lime Daiquiri

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The Daiquiri is a textbook example of 'sour' cocktails. The secret lies in the balance of the 'holy trinity': strong alcohol (rum), acid (lime), and sweet (sugar). This cocktail tolerates no mistakes: comprising few ingredients, poor quality or bad ratios in any of them show immediately. A well-made Daiquiri is neither sweet nor sour, but a perfect, vibrant blend of the two.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Shaker
  • Chilled Coupe or Martini glass
  • Fine strainer
  • Citrus juicer

Instructions

1 ✓

Chill the glass with ice.

Tip: A pre-chilled glass helps keep the drink fresh and crisp until the last sip.
2 ✓

Pour the sugar syrup and lime juice into the shaker, then add the rum.

Tip: Using sugar syrup is better than granulated sugar because sugar crystals wouldn't dissolve properly in cold alcohol (solubility) and would crunch under your teeth.
3 ✓

Fill with ice, seal, and shake vigorously until the side of the shaker feels uncomfortably cold to your hand (approx. 15 secs).

Tip: Shaking not only cools but dilutes. Water melting from the ice is an essential part of the recipe, opening up flavours and softening the alcohol's strength.
4 ✓

Strain through a fine strainer into the chilled glass and consume immediately.

Tip: The fine strainer catches tiny ice shards broken off during shaking, making the drink's texture velvety smooth.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use brown sugar?
Traditionally white sugar syrup is used for the clean colour and taste, but with brown sugar you get a deeper, caramel flavour (though the drink will be darker).

Ingredients

  • 50 ml White Rum (good quality)
  • 25 ml Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 15 ml Sugar syrup (1:1 ratio sugar and water)
  • 1 handful Ice cubes
